I didn’t enjoy this book, yet I still finished it. I mostly listened to it during walks. It wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t finish it, but I didn’t find it captivating.

I liked that there was multiple suspects and everyone had something to hide. I had a feeling who did it but it wasn't super obvious, everyone is suspicious. I also read lots of thrillers and still wasn't 100% sure who the culprit was. My three star rating is because the ending was a little bit disappointing.

Really good! I tend not to love non-fantasy or sci-fi books, but this really held my attention. Amazing performance by Kirsten Potter. She did such a great job with all the different characters and their emotions. The plot was very twisty and turny up until the very end! Definitely a guessing game.

This was extremely fun and twisty, and I did not guess the ending because everyone was so sneaky! I thought the characterization of the neighborhood dynamics was really believable. Ms. Lapena does these domestic issues so well, and I'm really excited to read more of her books. Also, moral is never trust a partner lol
